Someone who says the lords name would be upset about “the lords name” specifically.

But it’s not “the lord’s name” because it’s not “the lord”, it’s “their lord”. Why would you include yourself as a subject of Christians’ “lord”?

It’s a common thing religious people say

Exactly. How come you’re saying it?

the lords name

I’m not religious

Wut? If you’re not religious, why are you using the phrase “the lords name”?

What you’ve described is not an algorithm.

it’s closer to a serious article than a blogpost

I find it bizarre and plain wrong to imply that blog posts can’t be serious articles.

both of which have a major flaw

What major flaw do you believe ActivityPub has?

looks better

What do you mean?

than ActivityPub

ActivityPub is decentralised. AT has a centralised index. They’re not comparable.

Why the fuck are people still talking about Jesus?

I’m not a Debian Developer and won’t become one: http://settrans.net/~rah/why-not-debian.html

Also, I’m not a Home Assistant user so I’ve no interest in contributing.

each party

Who decides who is a “party”?

You first.

the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is “incorrect”

Not incorrect, just poor engineering. Anti-social ultimately.

you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made

I can see only two disagreements in the whole post. Only one of those is about the reasons for creating an OS rather than distro packages. I have corrected a number of factual errors and errors in reasoning but those aren’t disagreements.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect.

Yes, my dismissing of them is not what makes them incorrect.

Nothing I stated is dramatic

LOL “this evil developer is doing a sinister thing”

this evil developer is doing a sinister thing

Nobody has said that here.

that community

I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody here has demanded that any developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it’s being unreasonable… don’t come here looking for a personal army.

Again, I’ve no idea what community you’re referring to. Nobody has come here looking for a personal army.

Your characterisation of the commentary on this post seems like that of an overly. dramatic. teenager.

This appears to bother a particular community who feel entitled enough to demand multiple developers cater to their distribution’s needs.

Your reading of the situation is wrong.

this is probably a ton of work, for which a purpose-built solution already exists: Docker

LOL Docker isn’t a “solution” to the pressure of good engineering.

it could not feasible

I disagree.

He alone has behaved like a child, dragging his end users along with him in his over-reliance on one failure point for his entire distribution system

Yeah, this is exactly as expected. Someone with poor engineering skills finding themselves in a position of power and making sure everyone knows they’re king of the hill. See this kind of thing all the time unfortunately :-(

the Home Assistant .deb distro package

Firstly, that’s a .deb but it’s not from a distro. Secondly, that .deb doesn’t contain Home Assistant, it contains a Supervised which runs the Home Assistant Docker container:
